    <p>I have a sortable list of items that returns results based on what the user types in the search box. The results always overflows and here i am using the following css for it:</p> <pre><code>#list { overflow-x: visible; overflow-y: hidden; } </code></pre> <p>This allows me to have only a vertical scrollbar. I then drag the individual li's that are in the list over to a droppable area. The sortable functionality is added to the list using the JQuery below:</p> <pre><code>$("#list").sortable({ connectWith: ".connectedSortable", helper: 'clone', appendTo: 'body', zIndex: 999 }); </code></pre> <p>The reason i use the <strong>appendTo: 'body'</strong> is to ensure that the item that is being dragged is on top of everything and will not be under the list's other items when being dragged. However, whenever I drag any item from the list, the DIVs that are in the item will have their CSS styling gone.</p> <p>I understand that this is due to the fact that when the item is dragged, it is appended to <strong>'body'</strong> and thus does not have any parent to inherit the original CSS styles.</p> <p>My question is how do i style the dragged item back to its original styling to make sure it stays the same even if I am dragging/not dragging it? through the events?</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>Found the reason for the css messing up. It was a random <strong>br</strong> thrown in between two <strong>div's</strong> causing it to be interpreted differently when the item was being dragged and appended to the body.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
